SUBLETTE COUNTY – Isarel (Izzy) Seeman of Big Piney knows her aspirations for the future.

“I’ve always wanted to be a (sled dog) musher,” she says.

She and her older brother, Justin, who are home-schooled at their family ranch west of Big Piney, were both involved in mushing at last year’s Junior Stage Stop sled dog race, put on by the International Pedigree Stage Stop Sled Dog Race (IPSSSDR) as a short fun run that gives children 9 through 13 from IPSSSDR communities a hands-on mushing adventure along with 10 hours of community service.
